Welcome
to another beer page, on this page you'll find a range of both Town and
Country pubs we visits from other parts of East Kent.

Whitstable
is a great place to visit not only for the pubs, but is a historic seaside
town with loads to see and do. Whitstable is easy to get to from all parts
of Kent and London with a good train service from London Victoria, from
the road it's sign posted from the A299 Thanet Way.

Above another one of my radio
friends Bob Le Roi.
Have a look at Bobs web site, it's very good. More about Bob on the friends
page.

When in Whitstable a visit
to The Ship in the High Street is a must. You can't miss it, loads of
flowers and the German flag flys outside. Armin is the landlord and is
from Germany and will you have some fun here. German beers and food is
also recommended if you pop in for a pint. You can also choose from at
least 3 real ales here as well.

The Frog & Orange at Shatterling
is on the main Canterbury to Sandwich road the A257. It's well worth a
visit, and see what you think of the sign.

One of our tours takes us out
into the countryside around Thanet. The Bell at Minster is a very cosey
pub with a lively landlady. The Dog And Duck on the river Stour at Plucks
Gutter is another place to visit and along that very same road. If you
head towards Sandwich, at Preston you'll come across the Half Moon and
Seven Stars. All are worth a visit.

On Sunday July 31st I went along
to The Dog And Duck
at Plucks Gutter to open there Charity fun day.The pub over the years
has raised several thousand pounds for local charity's and on the day
invited one of the children's charity's it helps to bring the children
down for a free Sunday dinner.

Like to say well done to all
who took part and especially to Rita and John

The Dog and Duck has a Charity
cheque presentation evening on October 21st and i'll be going along to
that, so I'll update you on how much has been raised this year. I'lll
be adding pictures of the evening on this page.

When I was on Invicta Supergold,
we had a pub quiz on air. As the station broadcast to the whole of Kent
many pubs took part in the quiz. It worked by having 2 pubs on air at
a time each evening they had 10 questions first to buzz answered if they
got it wrong it was handed over to the other pub. it was a knock out comp,
and in it's first year on air over 100 pubs took part. Photo on the left
is the first years winners the East Kent in Whitstable.

Another place in Kent you'll
find some fine coast pubs is Ramsgate. Ramsgate is right on the North
Eastern tip of Kent, it has a ferry port and nearby is Kent International
Airport at Manston. Best way to get to Ramsgate is from the Thanet Way
the A299 if coming down from London.

Just as you head into Ramsgate,
right on the hill overlooking the harbour is Churchill's Bar, nice lively
place this is with music on from time to time and the odd beer festival
as well. On the Sunday we visited they had on a rather good drop of Bombardier.
Then it was onto Gadds, yep that's where the Ramsgate brewery can be found,
it's right opposite the casino by the harbour clock tower, you can get
the full range of Gadds beers here and it's brewed on the premises.

Ramsgate is a lovely seaside town with lots
to do for the whole family, it does make a nice day out with not only
some very good pubs but restaurants and beachs as well. You will find
plenty here for the children to do as well.

In the weeks to come over the
spring and summer we will be visiting more of Ramsgate's pubs, so do come
back and have a look from time to time.

We will be visiting Thanet's
other main towns as well, like Margate, Birchington and Broadstairs, all
have lots to offer not only the drinker, but the whole family

Staple is a small village between
Sandwich and Wingham, from Canterbury it's about 8 miles out along the
A257, and well sign-posted from Wingham. Staple has 2 pubs, The Three
Tuns at the Wingham end of the village and from the Sandwich end The Black
Pig, both pubs are well worth a visit.

Pictures
of the The Three
Tuns, here celebrating St George's Day, and also 60 years since VE
day. The pub had a World War II tank in the gardens, search lights and
a full-size AA gun there as well. This pub is under new management and
well worth a visit. Oh yes, the beer was good as well. Well done to all
and thanks for a great weekend. More theme days and nights are planed....

Mentioned about Wingham, here you'll find
3 pubs. The Dog, The Red Lion, and The Anchor, all again good for both
beer and food.

Over the next few weeks we will pay a visit
to these pubs and I'll be adding some pictures of the pubs on this page
